sinking cruise ship kariya how did you get to know about the tragedy. yes we were the first to help and we were sailing in the same direction as the bulgarian and we picked up on the radio just bits of conversations between some ships we couldn't make out what the ships were we heard them talk of seeing people overboard and speculating that it looked like a boat or a small ship had capsized once we heard that we put on more speed to get there faster than we did arrive at the tragedy site we saw terrible things and only when we realized that it was the pleasure gary of that it sunk to the true scope of the disaster strike us. how long did it take it to get to the same. i would say about five to ten minutes fifteen at most from the moment we heard the radio talk but it all happened very quickly as we were nearing the site we began to figure out how many people there were in the water although that was hard to do because there was a lot of rubble floating around as well it was very hard to pick out individual people from among the floating debris it was truly

a tragic picture that we saw you know what condition where these people where they panic stricken where the song. when we got them on board we had so much to deal with of course they were kind of stricken they were in deep shock but out of news quite horrible my crew members who were involved in rescue works they got deeply involved to some people were in a dreadful condition many were injured they had all all over their skin because when the ship sank the fuel came up to the surface and spread everywhere and covered the people that made rescue even harder because the oil made the victims greasy and hard to get a holes to pull them on board seeing children in da condition that was particularly heartbreaking. and calgary it was very hard on survivors. good lost family man this is a tragedy that as far as i know although it may be wrong i understand that only one family survived the wreck without losing any members most people did lose their

close and loved ones and yes indeed it is very hard for both on the survivors and on us to we all feel very deeply for them. and i was just about saskia how your crew were coping with that and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful. dugald we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading of course it was felt it deep inside but we had to remain calm and professional to control our feelings. and succeeded in saving so many people that's how the all of seven to seven one how to do that was there anything particular that helped. here you know i find it hard to say what helped us because after that storm there was a brief period of kaun and it happened just as we approached the wreck site that short moment of camelot is to pull people on board once the rescue operation was over and we went to investigate the wreck site again by a rough weather came back over the water was very rough again we got there just in time for the crew when they already said that they performed in the best possible

way that everyone acted very competently the speed of the crew significantly helped save people's lives they just wanted to get the job done how many passengers were on board at that time and how did they react. to the arabella was packed to full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes are you these lads were deliberately they helped a lot they can still be injured and there were doctors among the tourists on the hour a valid basis of the ship's medic as he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors that was very important. and it was about the people who survived the ship cracked all the journalists that when they found themselves in the water and the boat sank there is simply cold and if it works out that's the rock and then popped out to the surface again one observer sat and thought it looked as though the sinking boat from the sort of funnel that put everything in what happens in reality the more than good of course the sinking boat

can pull objects floating on the surface under the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the water into before all pools that can so people live with other people who were afloat when the ship sank must have fairly normal strength to fight the whirlpool and return to the surface it is difficult to tell because i have never been in their shoes and i can't imagine what it would be like had they been the one from the point pick them up the podium i can't be precise about that but i think they were in the water for half an hour or so but also some of them are trying to get into life rafts others were still in the water it's just . there are a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them sass about her attack on the facts is saw the bulgarian doc some time before the sinking it's not practical to you know that you see not all technical defects can be seen from outside experts say that the cruiser listed to one side spoke with i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not overly you with ships of this

type i've never worked or not designed with of what it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser i say again that i can't cast judgment because i never inspected its engine but if it is very difficult to tell if you don't know the particulars you'll hear eyewitnesses francis devoted to the ride even when it first started so this thing was visible i'm not sure it was worth so because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question is it true what you know about them but if i told you just now that the boat was listing but i can't tell you how critical it was to the ship if. you happened to talk with a crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking if they considered the possibility that something might happen to tell you about it that's . when the arabella dr bull got with it was one of the stops we occupied the second birth of the bulgaria was tied to the first one they were leaving at eleven o'clock and we stayed till thirteen hundred hours when they were sailing off we had

to maneuver in order to let the boat out and continue its cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore and started the former captain of the boat in the current second mate of the bulgarian to me at last a little of in the center of the name jack he had to work with the bulgaria from the very beginning back in the times when she was called ukraine he was the captain of the ukraine and old age prevented him from remaining in charge because it is an exhausting post which the captain works very hard and it's too tiring for an old man he realized this and decided to step down to the make position because it is easier and better for the older man did not want to leave the bulgaria ukraine. his mother should and i approached him and we chatted a bit we shook hands and i asked him mr nasr of if you're tired of standing at your age and he told me with his sadness you know that he's got nothing to do at home his wife had passed away a few years ago and all that was left for him as a consolation was his job with the most memorable thing he told me one that stuck in my mind was when he said he didn't want to sail this year but i don't know he

just didn't feel like sailing this season and then this thing happened and seen from the way you're telling this story is no longer alive that was a hoax ring that's right sadly he is gone and his body was recovered and identified it's such a pity he was a good man and a true captain such a pity but is it true that the ship sank really fast yes you know i've spoken to some of the witnesses i mean survivors of course there are different versions but i attribute this to shock because they just couldn't get their thoughts together and were rather confused about you know who they still say you took the ship something in like two or three maybe five minutes to sink and that really is a very short time and it is difficult to lower any boats or rafts in the meantime with a strong lurch like that brace up some have it and that suggests that it is possible that the accident could claim so many lives because it all happened so fast right so let's talk about this about that as many claim possible carrier that they were

just caused by order to stop the saying what was going on but i did a package get in and i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel a heavy duty topo to the large part maybe it was a little bit ahead of us i don't know why they didn't stop in front of the site if they saw it happening but i can't say whether they saw it at all either with it but by the time they decided to hold and come to the rescue we were already there but i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's nascar jurisdictions inertia maybe they had tried to stop earlier the national lead. anyway so at that moment we were there and the ship's presence at that spot could be counterproductive and hazardous for the people who were in the water and below the surface. in that situation it was paramount that we avoided panic a disaster situation where it was necessary to observe the scene of the accident and it was necessary to start rescuing people immediately but anyway i think we did

a lot faster than this other ship could have because at that moment there was just so little time for both of us and you had ran a contact with us yes but we had contact but we just exchanged a few phrases i merely told her captor that it was pointless for him to try to rescue anyone at that moment and i asked him to move ahead a little so as not to impede our rescue operation at that moment there was no use for his help that's what i can tell you maybe if it had been rendered earlier it could have come in handy but at that time there was no point in it and it's then that you don't want to blame enron but at that moment it was already too late he should have brackett earlier he would have to hold the ship lower a boat while we were already approaching the site in our ship and i already have boats afloat and advancing towards the site and his boat could do we were practically beginning to collect the people from the water once again i'm not trying to accuse him of i don't know his vessels of mass and inertia characteristics maybe he needed much more time to start his ship and lower a boat i wouldn't rule out actually i was just assessing the situation

realistically at that moment and i figured that there was no use for his boat there at the time you see what's supposed to bayeux it is in that situation or not of course i'm a captain of one ship he is a captain of another ship i couldn't give him any orders or instructions because he didn't report to me and i know some people in the press are already twisting the story saying i ordered him not to stop it had been rice herself and had been the captain of the other ship and you were a town that should move on and your help wasn't one hears what would you do. but i can't imagine myself a captain of that ship i don't want to offend anyone it's just that i don't know. what i would do if i were in his shoes of the moment and if i had seen old it happening right in front of me or simply sold people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much.

with the end of the core war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappear. the risk is not zero that something might

be going off by mistake special of nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but the significance to use it. all as an extra that you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war this second sound is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. alone films with. what makes a big splash in the world of high tech business what turns it real science into i ching products don't understand all the trophies he's got he told russian

play against them and. they showed i thought we maybe should have been leading a hard time maybe by at least a couple of goals. so to come out second half and score a couple goals was very pleasing that's how it came to the final versus what would be a good and it was the germans who still the shoe just a dozen minutes in three books now bill aziz opening his team secure and in. she moved to move. the tuning into good friends with the spectators able to choose their people six new ones who were with the answers given the peak of their peers from. russia to germany. instead to move them so we had to train passing cars and passing legs with muscle on a really good. look for barcelona and then trying to bring some of these
